The wedding of the son of RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, to be conducted in Patna on Saturday evening, is expected to be a grand affair, with a host of opposition leaders, including Congress chief Rahul Gandhi, being invited.
According to media reports, cooks have been hired to prepare food for at least 7,000 people, while other media reports claim around 10,000 people could attend the wedding of Tej Pratap Yadav and Aishwarya Rai, granddaughter of former Bihar chief minister Daroga Prasad Rai.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah were also invited for the wedding even though Lalu has been a bitter critic of the BJP. However, among senior BJP leaders, only Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Modi is expected to attend.
Earlier on Saturday, a poster was seen outside Lalu's house in which Tej Pratap was portrayed as lord Shiva and Aishwarya as goddess Parvati.
Lalu, who has been in prison since December after his conviction in a Fodder Scam case, secured provisional bail of six weeks on health grounds on Friday.
